Ruddy EML light on just before we crossed into France!

Had a lovely drive from Wiltshire to Ashford (3.5hrs or so) for an overnight stay yesterday. All hunky dory, filled up with fuel last night, driving along the M’wat this morning and the yellow EML light came on, and it seemed to be constantly trying to regen until we parked up at Le Shuttle terminal, but mostly driving fine. Left the van for 30 mins or so, got back in and EML light was still on but had no real option (I don’t have a code reader (going on the list of things to buy when I get back!) but to get on the train and see what happened. Stuck 1/2 bottle of redex in it though not sure it makes much difference. Have driven all the way to Efteling in the Netherlands, van driving fine but light still on so I’m just unplugging the battery now to see if I can reset it. I’m hoping it’s just a temporary thing that occurred because of a long drive yesterday, and fingers crossed it’s nothing more suspicious. Coolant and oil levels are still perfect so assuming the DPF was getting clogged up?
 
Unfortunately without the actual fault code it will just be guesswork. I have experienced the same yellow light, and code reader showed a fault related to nitrous oxide sensor ( something like PO22EE). I bought a cheap OBD reader in France, delivered to Amazon locker and reset it, and it never appeared again. Are you staying long enough in one place to be able to buy one?
 
Yeh, we’re here in Efteling until Friday morning then staying at a Center Parcs in Belgium for a week so I shall have an investigate!

Do you have EU breakdown cover? Can you call them out to reset it? Just a thought. I know that if you call them about the same fault a second time, there can be issues.
 
Luckily I took out EU cover a week ago so yes, could well be an option.

I removed the connector to the battery for about 10 mins and that hasn’t reset anything so not sure if I needed to leave it longer. Either way, I’ll probably see if I can find an Amazon locker and order a code reader and get it reset myself first.

Stupid bloody thing!
 
The number of threads on here about engine lights coming on when travelling to europe is crazy.
Getting the code reader is a good call. Note the code, post here, then reset and chances are you'll be fine.
 
Seems these vans are allergic to France! 😂

Annoyingly, Amazon in the Netherlands appears to be garbage and I can’t get a code reader until Friday…the day we leave so would be a gamble to turn up in time. The Amazon Belgium site, where we’ll be on a Friday, doesn’t seem to have any available! WTF!
 
I’ll have a little squiz today….got to pop to a shop to grab some bits so will see if I can find one friendly enough just to reset it
